Kent, agricultural statistician ot
the P. S. department or agricul
ture, says I he wheat crop of this
year ill Oregon will be even lower
than the light crop of last year.
He estimated that more than one
hulf of the acreage seeded last
fall has ell her been resc-.Mled to
taring v. heat or other spring-sow n
crops,
and that tho condition ol
the remaining acreage is prob
ably the lowest in the history of
large scale wheat growing, the
percentage figure being placed at
55 per cent of normal.
Mr. Kent says the conditions of
the Pnited States crop is placed
ul OS." per cent of normal, com
pared with 83 a year ago, and the
five-year average oi SI..: that In
dicatlons are that the production
will amount to about 474,25r.tM,o

est Supervisor X. J. Hillings and it.
J. Campbell, general manager of
the East Oregon Lumber company,
drove over the north highway the
next day. Here t he road turns
through national forest where no
private ownership has to be con
sidered. It was agreed. tha espe
cial efforts be made to preserve Hie
beauty of the tree, growth for hoiuc,
distance back from the road but no
regular boundaries were si t for the
strip. The East Oregon company
is to cut mature trees along the
highway, and these were marked by
tho forest service, otherwise the
native forest will not be disturbed f
and the road will retain its old
woodland charms. Il will bo a
drive through a vast park.
The same policy has been adopt
d by the highway board through

been acquired along the road over
